r.northerness.easterness calculates northerness, easterness and the interaction between northerness and slope (northerness*slope). The user must specify the input elevation raster map.
As aspect is a circular land-surface parameter, in ecology a sine or cosine transformation is often used to obtain a continuous gradient, stressing the north-south or east-west gradient (northness or eastness).
The GRASS GIS default aspect angles (cartesian) are converted to compass angles.
Calculated raster maps are:
The color of these raster maps are set to grey.
